John was stuned speachless. How could this small woman have so much power over him?
He wanted Bella with him, he couldn't deny it. But that didn't mean he wanted to want her. She was a liability.
Bobby noded. »Yeah. You'll take care of the kids.«
Bella was confused.
Take care of the kids? Whitch kids? Does the other man have children or is this one not married like she originaly thought.
Somehow Bella found her self in the back seat of a car, she couldn't stand the silence any longer.
»I'm Bella.« She said.
She didn't remember any names being passed around. Maybe someone said something while she was out of it, but it didn't seem likely.
»I'm Bobby Singer.« The man in the passenger seat said.
When it looked like the driver won't say anything Bobby pointed to him. »That's John Winchester.«
They stoped in front of a motel, Bella knew it of corse it was the only one in town.
»You'll stay with Bobby.« John said without even looking at Bella or Bobby and getting out of the car.
»Wait a minute.« Bella grew defensive.
She wanted to stay with him, also she had no idea what was going on. There was no way in hell she'll let them keep her in the dark.
»Someone better start explaining what the flying fuck is going on!« Bella exclaimed. »Because the thing I'm thinking is completely insane and I refuse to believe it without some sort of proof.«
John stalked toward her and stopped directly in front of Bella bending so their faces were only inches apart.
»Now you listen here, little girl.« He snapped at her. »It doesn't really matter what you want to believe or not. Fact is, it happened. Your father is dead because of it.«
Bella's bottom lip trembled and her eyes got instantly wet, yet she refused to cry in front of the men.
She will not be weak!
Her back straightened and she looked John in the eyes to show him she doesn't fear him.
»I would appriciate it if you would remove yourself from my personal space, sir.« Bella said cooly.
She survived running with vampires, she will not be intimidated by a mere man. No matter how rude he was.
John reeled back shocked.
He honestly expected Bella to cower from him, people just react that way. Usually. Apparently not this girl or woman he should say.
Bobby snickered.
No one has talked to John like that, ever. Not that it was bad for him, John could probably use someone who can knock him down a peg or two.
At first Bobby was suprised at how John reacted to Bella but now he had some inkling on what was going on. If Bobby's not mistaken and he rarely is, John and Bella are wandering lovers.
Legend says that wandering lovers were soulmates who weren't happy in previous life or lives so the universe or god gives them another chance at happines.
He had an inckling when Missouri called him years ago telling him not to let John be stupid when he finds her. At first he was confused but the more he thought about it the more it made sense, now especially.
Now all that Bobby needs to do to figure out if he's right is to find out if either of them had dreams of the other or some memories from past lives, something.
»Why don't you go check on the boys and then come in my room.« He said to John then turned to Bella. »We'll go grab us a drink, for Charlie.«
Bella swalowed a lump in her throat at the mention of her father and nodded.
They each had a glass of whisky in their hands, one on the table waiting for John.
Bobby took his chance, while Bella and John were more likely to share when they were apart.
»Do you know John?« That was the wrong way about it, he knew it immediately so he tried it differently. »I mean your not scared of him. Folks, especially women usually are.«
When Bella cocked her head like she was weary of John all of a sudden, Bobby hastily reasured her.
»Not that John would ever hurt anyone much less a woman. They're just intimitaded by the sheer size of the man and well the fact he acts like an asshole doesn't help matters much.«
Bella snorted. Understated much.
»He does act like an asshole, doesn't he?« She smiled at Bobby. »It's an act, though. He just doesn't know how to show emotions.«
She exhaled. »How do I know that?« Bella asked Bobby. »Why do I have this feeling I know him? When I don't actually remember meeting him before? What is going on?«
»I have a theory.« Bobby asured her. »I'm just not inclined to share it at the momment.«
»That hardly seems fair.« Bella pouted.
Bobby nodded but said nothing more on the topic. John saved him from having to make something up when he entered the room.
As John took a seat all three occupants of the motel room 19 raised their glasses.
»To Charlie.« Two voices sounded as one.
»To Charlie.« Bella toasted, her voice strangled in pain.
»Can you explain things now?« Bella asked after they drank their whisky.
Both men noticed she looked at Bobby, she expected answers from Bobby as she was still mad at John.
John gritted his teeth at this but let it be, for now.
»Ah, well.« Bobby was hesitant to start.
He felt that John should explain things to her, because of the whole Wandering lovers thing Bella would take things better if they'd come from John. Bobby took of his trucker cap and scrached his head.
»Bella, your dad was killed by a ghost.«
Bella raised an eyebrow at him.
»Really?« She put all the sarcasm she was capable of in that single word.
'Hell, Dr. House would be proud.' Bella thought remembering her favorite show in college.
John held in a laugh he looked down at the floor to hide a smile. That was an expresion his facial muscles weren't familiar with.
»Aren't ya funny.« Bobby drawled. »But really, Bella. Your father called me when he started havin' problems with the thing. It just got violent. We think it got awakened by the renovation. The man Michael Robinson, he was creameted so there must have been somethin' in the house he got attached to. That's why John burned it down there were no remains for us to burn.«
»You do this?« Bella asked wide eyed. »You drive around saving people from ghosts?«
Bobby nodded. »And demons and witches, werewolves and everything really.«
Bella sat in the chair stuned speachless.
»Wow.« She finally breathed. She ran her fingers through her hair. »I mean, it's just….. Wow.«
John understood her reaction, he felt the same way back then when he found out.
»I knew vampires were real but this is just too much.«
That made both men look at her but Bella didn't notice she was lost in her own mind muttering.
»How come Vicky never told me? Did she not know? She must have known, she's been alive for centuries.«
»Excuse me, what?« John snapped at Bella.
How could she be so stupid that she hung out with vampires, did she have a death wish?
»Huh.« Bella looked up, like she just now realised the men were still in the room with her. »Oh! What did you hear?«
She asked, not that she wanted to hide anything from them, she just didn't want to repeat herself.
»You know vampires?« John exclaimed in Bella's face.
Bella took a calmig breath. »I have said it before and I will say it one more time. Get. Out. Of. My. Face.«
»Sorry.« John said, surprising not only Bobby who looked like he was having a heart attack but also Bella.
Bella knew John wasn't a man to apologise. Just like she knew he was a good man underneath all that hard ass mask.
John was a man who had so much love to give, he was just afraid to give it.
